Possible referral; student loan issues (200k); son
Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 5:41 pm
Interesting fact pattern. I'd definitely have him file an identity theft
report asap, and give notice to the creditors. How and when did the loan
company get the judgment? It sounds to me like a private money lender, so
they may be reachable under rosenthal (or fdcpa by debt collector), but
setting aside the prior judgment would be priority. If he was improperly
served, then there may be a chance of getting the case back at issue. If he
was properly served, I'm not sure what can be done, esp. if the judgment was
entered beyond the set aside or appeal time limit in Texas. You probably
need more facts in order to determine whether it is worthwhile. Just my 2
cents here.

Interesting fact pattern. I'd definitely have him file an identity theft report asap, and give notice to the creditors. How and when did the loan company get the judgment? It sounds to me like a private money lender, so they may be reachable under rosenthal (or fdcpa by debt collector), but setting aside the prior judgment would be priority. If he was improperly served, then there may be a chance of getting the case back at issue. If he was properly served, I'm not sure what can be done, esp. if the judgment was entered beyond the set aside or appeal time limit in Texas.

Hi all,Potential referral here. I haven't met with the person yet (referral from attorney friend), but here are the basic facts. Father and son have same name. Father cosigns on $26,000 student loan. Son then, over several years time forges fathers name on several other student loans. Loan company gets judgment for approximately $200,000. Father does not know where son is currently and father willing to file police reports regarding the forgeries. Father was living in Texas while this happened and I'm not sure, but the judgment is probably from Texas.s now living with his parents and they are willing to help him sort through this mess.
This will be a referral, however, I have a general question regarding the underlying fraud and whether that is something that should be taken care of prior to bankruptcy filing, or whether it is something that would best be taken care of in the bankruptcy.
